The
Guidance and Career Education Program

The
Guidance and Career Education Program is a vital and integral part of the
secondary school program. Through the program, students will acquire the
knowledge and skills that they need in order to learn effectively, to live and
to work cooperatively and productively with a wide range of people, to set and
pursue education and career goals, and to carry out their social
responsibilities. The program will be delivered through various means, including
classroom instruction, orientation and exit programs, completion of the annual
education plan (grade 10), career exploration activities, and individual
assistance and short term counselling.

The goals
of the Guidance and Career Education Program are outlined in the policy document
entitled Choices Into Action: Guidance and Career Education Program
Policy for Elementary and Secondary Schools,
1999.

The program
also provides liaison with elementary schools, post-secondary institutions, the
community, industry and employment centres. Students may be counselled on a
regular basis, and they are also encouraged to see a counsellor whenever they
need information or assistance. Teachers or parents may also request that a
counsellor speak with a student. Parents are invited to contact the Student
Services office at any time to arrange an interview with a counsellor for the
purpose of discussing any matter which they believe may be affecting the
progress of their son or daughter.
